• 1:32
  Speaker 3: ten o'clock this morning, and we have our normal juicy
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: ten o'clock lineup of guests coming your way here today,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: which we will map out for you in What's on
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Tap coming up on the radio program. I made four
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: hundred in ninety six New Year's resolutions.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: This year is the two.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Of you know already crushing them. I mean, so far,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: so good. New Year's Resolution number one hundred and two
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: is a challenge this morning, and that is to not
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: be angry behind the wheel.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I do get a little angry.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, I'm gonna say I stopped short of road
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: rage on the drive. And that also involves not starting
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the show talking about drivers. But it is the thing
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that we experienced last before the mics get cracked. Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But so this isn't really a complaint, just an observation.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I think that there are a lot of people that
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: work in this general vicinity right here where we work
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that made a New Year's resolution of getting to work
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: on time or earlier than they did a year ago.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Because there was a lot of traffic today and there
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: never should be.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, oh yeah, I feel like there's quite a bit
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: of traffic on most days. Well, no, today, Yeah, I
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: guess maybe it was a little bit busier.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: It was like backed up, like I couldn't even get
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: through one of the lights. It turned without me being
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: able to get through the previous stop white see.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: And I made it all the way through except one light,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: and that there was an oversized vehicle though I should
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: not be allowed to the Yeah, I realized.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: That all of my complaints usually do fall on deaf
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: ears with the two of you. Oh no, no, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: think that. Nonetheless, that was the situation this morning. So
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of you made New Year's resolutions
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to get to work on time this year.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I think that's what happened. Or I'm gonna get to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: work early early bird gets the worm. That's what the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: boss tells me. And I'm sure it'll clear up by tomorrow.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I was gonna say, it's like a gym, so you'll
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: be fine, Yeah, gym member.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they won't use it, they won't do it after January.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: You're gonna be just fine.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow they'll be like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: That wasn't Yeah, that wouldn't a big advantage to that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going to sleep in a few if there is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Something to that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: You're right, we're getting close to the time where most
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: of them will fall off and then, yeah, you got
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: about two maybe three more weeks until they'll all be back.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we're all a little bit different. Look, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: got four hundred and ninety six resolutions to live up to,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: so I'm sure i'm acting differently too. I mean, you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: trying to be my best behavior. Yeah, I noticed that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah you are.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: You're you're firing on all cylinders because you're thinking about
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: all the things you're accomplishing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's January sixth and I didn't start it until Sunday,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: But my new diet, I'm still on it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Wow, congratulations on that. I hope that sticks as well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I hope it at least six through next Sunday.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: The thing about having five hundred resolutions is you're bound
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: to have some of them come true. Now the downside,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: if we want to go glass half empty, you're probably
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: not going to fulfill them all.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, So.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I think you go five hundred.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's why I went near five hundred.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just so that I could make sure that I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: felt some level of a chief.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I just think, if you know, almost a year from now,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: we're sitting like I have accomplished one hundred things that
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I set out to do in twenty twenty.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody has to know that it didn't account hundred. You
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: failed exactly.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It would be so impressed.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I won't bring I would be.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: As my former colleague Mike Response, and yes that was
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: his name as a radio host, Mike Respond, the sports pig.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's what he went by. I didn't call him that,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's what he went by. He would tell me shock
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the ket alive, his low expectations, Why you're always achieving?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's pretty smart.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Sports pig, the philosopher.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He was quite the philosopher. Yeah, he was a philosopher.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: All right, well, welcome into the radio program. We are
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: underway here on this Tuesday morning, and uh manh Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Seattle just seems to be in a better mood right
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: now because of the situation the football team has put
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: itself in. Uh and that always just makes the community
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: feel a little bubblier. Uh to sit there and know
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: that the football team accomplished what it needed to accomplish
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: during the regular season to get the number one seed
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to get the by and at this stage they're just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: reveling in it. I mean, think about the difference that
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: was created with that win. On Saturday, San Francisco and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Troy Aikman talked about this during the game. He talked
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: about it in the post game. It was the first
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: thing that was on his mind, and his thought was
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the difference between what San Francisco's feeling right now is
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: night and day. And he went as far as saying,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I don't see them recovering from this. In other words,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: they had a chance, with all of their injuries to
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: not just get a buy and avoid getting knocked off
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in the first round, not just getting home field advantage,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: but throughout the entire postseason. Because they are hosting the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl this year too, they also get an extra
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: week to rest all of those injured players that they
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: have and to get They're not going to have that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: benefit going forward. Meanwhile, I'm on the phone with somebody
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: from the Seahawks last night and he's like, yeah, we
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: got three days off over the weekend. Yeah, Mike's given
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: everybody three days off so that they can just watch
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the full ball if they want to spend time with
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: their family.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about the difference.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: San Francisco's got to go to Philadelphia take on the
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: World champs after just getting a hell beat out of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: them by the Seattle Seahawks, They're now going to have
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to face maybe the only other team in the National
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Football I mean, there are other teams that are you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that are excellent defensively, I'm not sure there's another one
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: as physical as what the Philadelphia Eagles are defensively. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they just got rouffed up by the Seahawks and now
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: they're gonna face Philadelphia. The weather could be terrible. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: don't know, I didn't even look it up, but that's
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: team is playing very good defense, very aggressive defense at
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: this point. I mean they're gonna be slopping it out,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: possibly on no rest, actually yeah, on no rest. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: then and then have to take on the defending World champions,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: who decided to rest all of their players in a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: loss last week. So the night day difference, while you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold's going.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: To be home eating fis funions, yeah, yeah, and yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and having is you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Know, slippers, his ug slippers.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Uh, you know, hoist it up on the the automan.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: The automan, that's what I was looking for. I almost
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: said shiffer robe, but that would really take long legs.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: On the automan.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Just chilling out and wait on who wants to play us.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Let's see who wants to play us? Maybe everybody will quit. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you're right. I mean it's and it really is.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: I mean it starts well, it finished on Saturday, when
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: you kind of knew where you're at. But it going back,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I mean to just before Christmas was, which was not
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: that long ago, that Rams game, when we were thinking
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: about how big that game was leading into it, because
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: you lose that one, if all things stay the same
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the rest of the season, you still don't get the
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: number one seed. So it was a way in which
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: the playoffs started like a month ago, and yet nobody
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Usually in the playoffs, you can't win a playoff game
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: and then receive a week off because of it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And yet that's the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Way that this whole thing panned out, I mean the
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: San Francisco game to be able to do that and
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: versus now you getting to sit there with the young
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: slippers and feed up on the autumn, and like you said,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: versus having to go play the defending champs.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Now, I think that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Everybody that gets into these things, with the exception of
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I would have to think Carolina maybe is a not
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: feeling super confident even though they're gonna go out and
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: give it there all the games to start zero zero
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: and they're gonna try their best to knock off the Rams.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: But for the most part, everybody's end, it's like, all right,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: it is what it is. We got where we got
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: and that's where that's what we earned. Essentially, that's what
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: But there's really is not a whole heck of a
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: lot more of an advantage than getting that week off. One,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: the rest and the recovery at this point in the
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: season for somebody two not having to play a game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, the rest is great, but just the simple
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: fact of you can't get knocked out in this round
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: because you're you're you're gonna be sitting at home watching
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: it on TV, and is I mean that is an advance.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I mean that then getting to play at home obviously
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: for as long as you can you can last in
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, that's big too. But to me, the idea
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: of just getting to rest and not have any worry
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And yet you didn't really know even though they were
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: playing great. They you know, they didn't really have any
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: bad losses this year.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: There wasn't that, Oh you dropped on to the Giants
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: and that's why you didn't make the playoffs. So that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: why you didn't get the number one seed or something like.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: They did exactly what they needed to do, and then
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: they find themselves now basically sitting in the in pole
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: position with a chance, you know, a couple home victories
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: and you're all of a sudden sitting in the super Bowl.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that swing from the one to five seed is
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: just I mean especially for them because to be at
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: home they had they won everything, they'd be they wouldn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: ever leave because the Super Bowls there too. So for
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: to go from that to you know, playing on wild
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: card weekend.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Actually to six O six Seawks only risks five.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But the Seahawks are the forty nine I mean six.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Los Angeles facing Carolina, as Bucky pointed out,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't seem so daunting.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Having to go to Philadelphia.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I just checked the weather, forty four degrees possible snow.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Gosh, so I mean, coming off.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: A game that you've just got battered, yeah, by the Seahawks,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and now you've got to face a team that might
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: be even more physical.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Wow, No, I have fun. Yeah, I'll enjoy watching it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I have a good fight. Forty nine ers enjoy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Bring a parka Yeah. Yeah, we'll be sitting around waiting
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to see how all the cookie crumbles.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, huge, huge discrepancy and a huge accomplishment.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And you know, there are a lot of people that
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: and I don't really understand this about sports, that just
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: sort of were reacting to how it looked like the
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Seahawks just wanted it more. I mean, I don't I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: can't believe that that is the case. No Saturday Night,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I think it was just more. I think it just
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: felt like the Seahawks were kind of in their huddle.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: You know, they always talk about Cliff Averill always talk
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: to us about that Super Bowl where we knew we
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: were watching the film and we were seeing what they did,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and we knew we knew it was gonna be a blowout.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I it felt to me like they knew, Like that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: how confident they seemed to be playing on Sunday. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: don't think it was an effort thing. I don't think
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: it was a warrior mentality thing. I think it was
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a confidence thing. I think the Seahawks went in there
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: knowing that the forty nine Ers weren't going to move
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the ball on them as long as they executed, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I think the forty nine ers figured it out really fast.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I think back to that Kyle Shanahan halftime interview when
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: he came out of the locker room and he sounded like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: we don't have an answer for this, whatever is happening
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: out on the football field. We don't have an answer
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: right now. We tried, we're gonna try, We're gonna try
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to piece some things together. But that's kind of the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: feeling that I got. I think that they stole their
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: confidence from them early on.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I think that they.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Were just the more prepared, rabid fighter in the contest
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: on Saturday Night.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Well, it feels to me, I mean in a lot
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: of sports and football in general, where you kind of
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: feel like momentum can carry you two things, whether it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: carry you just down the field for some points at
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: one given time, or carry you all the way to
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: a victory, like some sort of momentum, and yet the
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: way in which the Seahawks defense like kind of rallied
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: to the ball, the fact that they're just even when
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: they would complete a pass or a running back would
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: get pass the line of scrimmage, they didn't get very far.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, after I complete a pass, it was just
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: two steps you were down.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter. There was never a time where they
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: got to start rolling at all.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: And I think that, to me is probably like a
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: breaking of the will type of a thing that can
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: happen in football game. And you're right, I think that
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: both these teams went out there like we know each other,
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: we know what you're going to do or what you're
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: going to try to do. It's kind of all right,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: let's let them know, and you're the better side of
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the ball. Whatever your your team is kind of based around,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: which it's the Seahawks defense for sure. Not that the
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: offense has been bad by any stretch of the course
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: of this season.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: They have the biggest.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Differential point differential of anybody, and so that says the
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: offense is doing their part majority of the time. But
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: I think that there's sometimes you'll see a team that
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: just runs the ball and they did that. The offense
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: kind of demoralized the Niners defense, and it's a decimated defense.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: There's something that goes into that, but it didn't matter.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: They just flat out said we're going to run it
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: on you, and we can pass it efficiently whenever we
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: want to pass the ball, and we're going to move
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: the ball down the field.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Now, you didn't get a ton of points out of it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: There was different things that they did, but thirteen was
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: plenty when it all came out it I just felt
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: like it was a just kind of took their will
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: from them, and it was with a bunch of little
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: things rally into the ball. Yet you're going to complete
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: some passes, you're gonna get a first down here and there,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: but you're not going to get any big plays. I
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: mean the fact that Christian McCaffrey's biggest run was five
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: yards and I was Hugh that was talking about the
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: yards after catch was like one yard or something.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: It was like nothing, it's right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: After the fact, and so to me, it was there's
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: definitely a supreme confidence that the defense is playing with
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: and then they executed it as well. It's one thing
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: to be like, all right, that's my guy and I
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: need to be on that guy. But you see it
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: every single week, in every single game, that somebody will
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: wiggle and get past that first tackle and there's your
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: big play, and all of a sudden, it takes one
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: of those in your field goal range.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Nowadays, they didn't do any of it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: There was none where you got a guy got out
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: of one of the tackles. It was one of the
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: one of the more confident looking defenses and one of
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the more executed defenses as far as just the tackling.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: All right, you caught it, fine, I'm taking you down here.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Every single blade of grass was earned by them, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: they didn't get very far with it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm hearing a lot of the like who
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: do you want to face? Who do you not want
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: to face? And I hear the forty nine ers and
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Rams kind of coming up still lump together.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think the forty.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Nine ers want to face the Seahawks again until twenty
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: twenty seven, you know, after that. The Rams, Yeah, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: could the Rams won another shot. I think the Rams
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: would want another shot. And I don't think that the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think that this. I just don't think it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: a matchup and then have to play it at Seattle,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and Seattle's had two weeks of rest and might be
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the healthiest team in the National Football League right now.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: If we've matched up against San Francisco, which I don't
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: think we're.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Going to do, I welcome.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I welcome that matchup as much as you can welcome
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the matchup in the playoffs. For goodness everything, I put
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Carolina first. But yeah, if San Francisco's the impediment, I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: not worried going into that game. If we have to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: play it again, yeah, I would agree with you there.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: I just think from the beginning of the season until
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the end of the season, that is as stark of
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: a contrast as you could see between the Seahawks team, right,
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: And so you get the defense now just stifling, right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: allowing seventeen point two points per game, and we would
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: have scored more than thirteen points that we not missed
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: two field goals, which is unusual for us.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: So I think, all, yes, I'm in.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, It's not that we're without concerns.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: There are, and we're going to cover those throughout the
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: course of the next two weeks. We're going to cover
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: some of them. Today as we discuss the Seahawks' fortunes,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: but certainly the difference between having to prepare for snow
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: against the world champs in Philadelphia with fans who might
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: throw horsepoo at you, versus sitting on a couch, maybe
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: inviting over a buddy or two to drink some light
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: beer and enjoy some football with snacks prepared by I'm
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: sure a professional caterer. Probably, yeah, that's you know, probably
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: get back.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Rubs at halftime, professional backrubs.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: A little bit different imagining what that life would be,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: what you've carved out for yourself here over the next
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks, compared to what San Francisco's life has
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: turned into here since Saturday night. All right, let's find
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: out what's on tap for the rest of the show,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: what's on TEP, what's on tech? All right?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Wild Card Playoffs.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: We'll start on Saturday and it will be uh one
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: thirty Carolina taking on the Los Angeles Rams, and then
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the night game will be the Bears taking on the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Packers Triple Adder on Sunday, and there's even a Monday
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: night Wildcard playoff game as well. Jean Sterritor is gonna
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: join us we'll find out what his assignment is coming
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: up at eight o'clock CBS rules analysts. He's joined us
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: at eight o'clock nearly every Tuesday this season, throughout the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: football season.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: That is.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Of course, we had a baseball team that went pretty far.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: So there's a couple of weeks we didn't talk to Gene,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: so we'll talk to him today at eight o'clock Black Monday.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yesterday of the carnage occurred while we were either on
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: the airwaves or before. I'm not sure that anything really
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: happened afterwards. We just found out breaking news the Cowboys
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: have fired defensive coordinator at Matt Eberflus. So he's had
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: a couple of rough years as an employee, but the
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: head coaches sort of stopped. Sounds to me, based on
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: what I heard from Adam Schefter this morning, the Miami
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Dolphins situation is still sort of being discussed behind the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: scenes right now. They're planning on going forward with Mike
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: McDaniel there. And then the other thing that Adam Schefter
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: brought up, which I found very interesting, was that the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: cycle is not over and that big names like John Harbaugh,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, Sean McDermott from Buffalo, and I think there
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: was another name mentioned in there. They are there's possibility
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: that any one of them could be out, either by
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: their own choice or just a mutual agreement that it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: time to move on. So Black Monday finished, and we
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: did see Pete Carroll get let go by the Las
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders, and we also saw Jonathan Gannon get let
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: go by the Arizona Cardinals. But there's still more to
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: this offseason, these coaching changes, and we'll keep monitoring it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: College football playoffs resume on Thursday. I may have said
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Wednesday yesterday on the airwaves. If I did, I apologize.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I was thinking. I knew it
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: was Thursday and Friday because I have a plan to
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: watch these games on Thursday and Friday. So Thursday is
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: when they will resume. In the meantime, Old Miss is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: trying to play this game with LSU.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: On how often are.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Our coaches available to us? And so apparently those two
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: assistants have been given the green light by Lane Kiffin
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to go fly back to Old Miss last night to coach. Meanwhile,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: there's all this nervousness about poaching players and the transfer portal.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: What's going on? It's just a mess.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the ole Miss players just get remain razor focused.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Two of them re upped for ole Miss football next year,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: two of their best players. So very interesting on that front.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: The college football transfer portal remains open until the sixteenth.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: This doesn't even sound right. Forty eight hundred players. I
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: heard this let yesterday from Hannah Storm and she usually
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't miss. She's pretty solid professional. That's crazy to forty
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: eight hundred players. Are there even forty eight hundred college
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: football players? Yeah, I guess we got them all.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Together, so somebody.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like over half three, just since everybody's
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: in the transfer portal until they're not forty eight hundred.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: My goodness, you don't have to convince these young kids
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: today that the grass is greener on the other side.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Cracking five to one winners over the Flames, they keep
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: on rolling. College basketball, you dou will face one of
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: the best teams in the country tomorrow, the Purdue boiler
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Makers and the NBA Trey Young and the Atlanta Hawks
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: have had enough of one another and they are trying
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to work out a deal. Sounds like they're both in
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: on it, so we could see something happen today. Coming
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: up next, in the aftermath of Black Friday or Black Monday,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I should say, the Arizona Cardinals have a job opening,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: and that might be the most difficult position in the
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: world to fill. I'll explain next. Sports Radio ninety three
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: point three kJ RFM park on here on this Tuesday morning,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and of course a lot to discuss. We got Greg
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Bell at seven oh five, Geene Stertur at eight o'clock today,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Everett Fits you will stop by talk about that crack
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and win at eight thirty. Is it a crack and
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: ticket Tuesday as well? On top of everything else, be
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: listening for your opportunity to win tickets to see the
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: red Hot Seattle crack and led by the kids? How
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: did this happen? Winterton? And uh and uh.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Myers, yeah right too, and yeah you got where are
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: these sorts of people?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Where these guys come from? How are they? Yeah? Yeah, exactly.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: But Myers with a beautiful pass last night, just a
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: gorgeous pass. We'll talk to everyt fitz you about it
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: coming up at eight thirty, and Rick new Isel nine
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: o'clock's talk from college football. The rest of it pretty
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: much Seahawks. That's pretty much all we're going to discuss.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: We are coming off of Black Monday, and yeah, there
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: are I mean, teams are quick to pull the trigger
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: on head coaching general manager changes, more so now than ever.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Coach Holmgren is bothered by it, as he told us yesterday,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't think that these guys are getting good enough chance
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: to get a foothold with all of the many responsibilities
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and trying to turn a lot of wayward organizations around,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: and you only give him a couple of.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Years to do so well.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon is out at Arizona after three seasons. It
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: looked very promising. Initially we were hearing last week that
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: he was going to be brought back, and then he
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: was one of the victims yesterday. And man, if I'm
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: an Arizona Cardinal fan in here and I'm scanning the
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: horizon and then I'm looking at my neighbors and how
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: am I going to compete in the next few years?
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Doesn't look great. I mean, there are a lot of
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: great coaches out there the AFC West alone, with Andy
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Reid and Sean Payton and Jim Harball, They're all going
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: to be in a Hall of fame someday all three
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: of those guys. But if there are three guys in
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the National Football League head coaches that are described as geniuses,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: they are McVeigh, shanahan, and McDonald right now, and they
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: are all in the NFC West. And I just look,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I think the term great gets overused.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Do you guys know that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I think that gets overused in the sports talk world.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: The term genius gets way overused. I think that's a
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: very rare condition to find in a coach or a player,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: to give them the genius label. I think all three
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: of the those guys in our division have earned it,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: and I don't think there are a lot of other
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: ones out there in the world that can be described
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: as that. I don't think there's a current coordinator that
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: can be described as that. And yet the Arizona Cardinals
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: have to find a head coach that can take a
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: worse roster than the other three. And let's find a
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: head coach that can compete with these other three guys
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: who are old, by the way, very young too, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: unless they want to leave, aren't gonna be going anywhere
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: for the next fifteen to twenty years.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: That's what the Cardinals are up against.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: You want to talk about a steep hill to climb.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Good luck?
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, good luck is right. I mean it's I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: you probably got to look at it. If you're a
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Cardinal fan er, if you're in the ownership, you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: front office side of things is it's probably a two
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: phase at least two phase situation. You got to get
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: somebody in there that just flat out can say, Okay,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: it's not necessarily you're not necessarily bringing a men for
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: maybe the x's and o's and winning right now against
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: those three teams, because you're right, they're young. Maybe the
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Niners are and the Rams are not. Their personnel is
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: not as young as the Seahawks are, but their coaches
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: are for sure. Right, they might end up having to
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: go through some sort of restructure rebuild with replacing some
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: aging guys. Right, But at the same time, the scheme
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: and the system, the culture's already set with those organizations.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I think you have to first and foremost get somebody
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: that's going to come in and say I'm in a
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: clean house on anybody that doesn't have the right attitude
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: that we need to have to be competitive in.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: The division that we're in.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Huh So by Kyler.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I think that riding's on the wall.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that might be you know step number one, like, well,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: we're not going to have that. We're not going to
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: have you know, somebody that's more interested in their call
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: of duty stats than their their you know, passer rating.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: We're going to probably make some moves there. So I
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: think it might be you'll get somebody that's maybe hard
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: knows that you know, is not going to be long
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: for the job, maybe it's going to be two three years,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: and but he can get you back to relevance where
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: you're actually fighting and putting up a fight.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, this year they went zero to six in the.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Division, and understandably so that the other three teams, like
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: we just talked about her are you know, I think,
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: three of the best.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Teams in the NFC.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And they were supposed to be competitive, right, they were
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: supposed to be, Hey, watch out for the Cardinals. That
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: was sort of the they don't sleep on the Cardinals.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: It was following from the year before, right, everyone thought
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: they were going to be really good.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: They only won eight games.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: That was kind of a surprise, and then it was like, okay,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: it's going to carry.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Over to twenty twenty five. These guys are watch out.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: They got Marvet Harrison junior and they're.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Good three and fourteen.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to draft.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Well they started out too and oh also, oh you
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: just think about that. Yeah, they went in one game
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: in the I mean after week three, and.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: So that's right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's I don't know for sure how you
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: end up, you know, trying to dig yourself out of that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: To some degree, it's one of those before you start
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: looking at what do we do to overcome Seattle, who's
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: now the top dog in the division, or the Niners
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: in rams, which you can say are right there with
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks, and maybe you different opinions might be who's
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: the second best team in the division. Before you can
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: even think about overcoming them, you got to think about
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: how do we even become competitive?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do we get back to like just
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: expecting to split.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: How do we get a head coach that wants to
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: take on that challenge? And you'll find somebody. I mean,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: it's thirty two jobs and somebody's gonna want it. But
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: that challenge alone, I mean, considering the type of coach,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: you're gonna need to compete sooner than later and then
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: convincing him of the path to go against these other
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: three organizations that obviously have a huge lead on them
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: and are of no mind to give it up any
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: time soon. I think maybe San Francisco with their aged lineup.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: But the Rams, other than Stafford and DeVante Adams are young.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: They're young across the board. They've already gone through their
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: rebuild and they're still winning at that high of a clip.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: So I mean, Arizona's a very attractive place for a
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: lot of people. Head coaches, players, baseball players kind of
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: want to live there, you know, year round, and I
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: think that there is a draw from that.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But then again, on the flip.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Side, the Cardinals organization is historically flawed and nobody likes
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: the Bidwell family. No one has in one hundred years
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: of football like anyone from the Bidwell family, and they're
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: still in charge of that operation there, and clearly they
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: can't get out of their own way. They can't break
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: through to become a consistent contender in the National Football League,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: and so to get a head coach and to try
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: to compete with these guys, I don't where's the genius
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: out there?
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do you want to go offensive or do you
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: want to go defensive? Because I mean, do you need
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: to find someone that's good at both? I mean it
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: seems impossible.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Signetti, Yeah, I mean I think it would be.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Now want to jump ship from where he's at now?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think he would.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: But that's a that brings the entire thing with him.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: It's not just a person. He brings the coaching staff
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: that's been with him, the process that's been with him. Now,
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: whether or not he's wanting to he doesn't seem like
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: the type that's got that written on his mirror that
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to be an NFL coach. But if
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I'm the Cardinals, that's probably one of my first calls.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: He's the only guy though, that is he doesn't I
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: don't think he has any professional experience.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And you never know how.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that style works on eighteen to twenty
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: two year olds, is it going to work on a
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: thirty year old left tackle?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know either, but but I mean his name
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: has been brought up. Clint Kubiak is the guy.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've looked up all these lists of top
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: coordinator candidates for head coaching positions, and Kubiak's name's the
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: one that keeps coming up, And I guess maybe there's
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: some logic there.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: He has some experience in the.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: San Francisco's organization. He obviously has learned a thing or
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: two from being around Mike McDonald. He's young, he's obviously bright.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: He certainly led the Seahawks and his you know second
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: season or see me first season, he led them to
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: their best offensive year Enfranchise history. I hear softy talk
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: about how he doesn't have a personality and how is
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: he going to handle being in the media, that it
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: just seems to be something that doesn't fit naturally with him.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: But you know, we might have to, in all of
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: our zest and joy of being the number one seed,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: have to accept the fact that there might be five
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: six teams trying to poach our offensive coordinator before the playoffs.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Come to a close.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the price you pay when you're good. You know,
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: people start coming looking and saying, well, what are the
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Seahawks doing that I like? And if some of it
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: falls down to Clint Kubiak, and understandably so, because there's
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: been times that this offense. I mean, it's not like
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: it has just been thirteen to three games all season.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: They've put up some big numbers at different points, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: it's just a matter of consistency. He's definitely going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: be getting interviews now whether or not he wants to
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: jump ship? Did you want to if you're clinking Kubiak
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: and you're sitting in the number one seed behind this
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: young team, and you're just now getting Sam Darnold under
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: to understand what it is you want to do, you
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: want to jump ship and go take on Kyler Murray.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's the point of the conversation. That's the
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: bottom line here, Like, all right, so you do. Let's
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: let's just use Kubiak as an example. Do I really
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: want to go there? Yeah, and have to face that
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: guy across the room two times a year. That's the
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: guy I got to get through. I've been around him
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: every single day, all right? Do I want to start
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: my head coaching career being in a clearly the worst
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: team in the division with that big of a hill,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: knowing that in today's NFL game, you only get a
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: couple of years to prove that your only time, I mean,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the only thing they could really attract is somebody that
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: just wants one of the thirty two jobs. I don't
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: think they attract the guy that's getting ready to start
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: his head coaching career. I think they attract the top
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: coordinator out there. I think they could attract Bill Belichick.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: If they wanted Bill Belichick, I would imagine they could
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: get him. But you're going to take on that train
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: architect line. You could certainly get Pete Carris. He would
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: take the job you wanted if that might be waiting
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: outside the facility right now. I mean, that's kind of
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: who you have to go after unless you just want
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: to take a roll of the dice on some second
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: level coordinator, which is what they've been doing for years
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: now and it's not worked. Yeah. I mean Cliff Kingsbury's
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: being mentioned as one of the top candidates as a coordinator.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Well, they've already had him and they've already fired him.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they need to bring him back.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: So that's a that's a really difficult decision. That's that
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: that's a really interesting situation they've got going down there
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: in the desert.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, speaking of the Sea Hawks, coach Holmern
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: did express some concerns over what happened Saturday night yesterday,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: well discussed them Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFMS.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: All right, Greg ben, I's gonna join us at seven
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: o five this morning. Our Seahawks insider a lot more
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to discuss with him, and so we'll be leaning on
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: him pretty heavily over the next couple of weeks as
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: we get ready for the seahawks first playoff game. It's
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: not for a long time, I'll tell you that much.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: It's like twenty twenty six. Yeah, wait, it is twenty six. Yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: we don't have to believeror well, oh gosh, you don't.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Have to sweat anybody. Even the Rams have just sweat
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the Panthers a little bit.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I mean they should they lost to him last time. Yeah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: but it's not like we don't have any concerns at
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: all with our local football team here. And coach Hombron
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: kind of pointed it out yes yesterday. He was bothered
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: by the low point total on Saturday of scoring just
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: thirteen points and made it quite evident that's just not
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: good enough. And so I think there was an element,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: a bucket of their confidence being so great that San
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Francisco wasn't going to put a number up on them
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: that they sort of had, as Greg pointed out yesterday,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: a bit of a strategy of just don't make the
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: mistakes and we're going to win this football game. If
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: we don't just hand them the ball inside our own territory,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: we're gonna win this football game. So they're just not
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: going to score many points. So I think that not
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: only was there that belief, I think there was some
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: strategy that was also poured into that area, but certainly
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: you left some points on the turf and not in
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the end zone or through the uprights.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I admit.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Thirteen points isn't gonna be good enough, and coach just
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: certainly seemed a little bit nervous.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: About that going forward.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean I just don't think. I mean,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: that was impeccable. The way in which the tackling was done. Now,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: I think, can you repeat it? You can be close,
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: But like I said earlier, I don't know for sure
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: if there was one time where a runner after he
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: caught the ball or was handed to him like made
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: anybody miss. It was just it was unbelievable the way
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: in which they went about it Now, I would say
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: that's closer to who they are than not. Right like
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: it wasn't some like oh that was that was an outlier.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: This team can't tackle, No, I think they can. But
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: you're still gonna have plays. You're gonna have offensive minds
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: that are going to come up with something that it's
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: a good play call against whatever defense you have, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: somebody's gonna be open, and then there's gonna be room
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: to run and you're gonna have to make a tackle
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: in an open space. And I believe that they will
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: do that, but probably not within one yard of the
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: catch every single time. So you're going to have the
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: ball moved against you to some degree. Now, is it
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: gonna be uphill sledden?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: I would think whoever comes into Lumen Field in the
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: first playoff game they play here or beyond, is going
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: to know this is not going to be easy. It's
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: not going to be We're not gonna have open people
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: all over the field and then a bunch of yak afterwards.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: And so I think that there's I think that there's
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: something too. Yeah, you're gonna have to score more than thirteen.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: You can't leave opportunities the way in which they dominated
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: on offense. I mean they moved the ball. Yeah, was
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: it their first six possessions they got down within inside
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: the thirty yard line. Well, you just think if all
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: six of those are field goals, you're at eighteen points.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: So yeah, they missed couple field goals, but even nineteen
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: to three wouldn't have felt like it wouldn't still the
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: scoreboard wouldn't have shown how dominant it was on both
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: sides of the ball.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, you got to finish. You got to
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: finish some things in the red zone.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: They know that they're they're gonna be talking about that
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: once they get back off their their little week one
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: hiatus and they come back, they're gonna be saying, hey,
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: we got to get better.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: We got to finish.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's especially going into the playoffs.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: And we have talked about, well, maybe they're not showing
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: everything that they've got.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe they've got some.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Stuff, but I haven't shown it by But I think
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: at this point, yeah, we've seen it all.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I would assume. Well, look, I mean Jason Myers had
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: a really bad night. Yeah, and I don't know why.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe it was a.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Tricky wind in San Francisco. I mean, they broadcast started
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: by Joe and Troy talking about the wind YEP and
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: it does swirl. It seems like forever every San Francisco
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: stadium that has ever been built.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: There's a swirling wind.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: For some other reason, they would think that their architecture
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: could figure that out after one hundred years. Even Steph
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Curry's ball gets blown around apparently, Yeah, and that's indoors.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: So apparently there's just a tricky win. I guess I
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: got to chalk it up to that because Myers has
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: been the best kicker in the National Football League this year,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: but he was terrible. And it wasn't just missing two kick
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: field goals. He also kicked that ball out of bounds
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: and gave him the ball up befoty. I think he
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: haven't had a penalty on the night, so he had
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: a terrible night the other night. I got to assume
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna chalk that up. I'm I'm just gonna
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: chalk that up to not a Jason Myers problem. I'm
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: just gonna chalk that up to had a bad night,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: had difficulty with the win swirling wins of San Francisco.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: But that alone puts you in nineteen because those are
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: two field goals that he makes.
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have enough confidence in him throughout the season
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: to think to put that on a bad night and
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: not on him.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it felt like a night where you should
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: have won thirty four to three. But they're what they
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: do believe is that they went in thinking thirteen, if
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: we scored thirteen, that's going to be enough.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: They really had that level of confidence that San Francisco
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to put points on the board against them,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: So they went in with the mindset that we don't
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: need a lot of points, and maybe that played in
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: to the lack of scoring. I don't know, but coach
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Almgren is concerned enough, and I think he knows football
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit. I think so seeing a thing or
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: two that's he wasn't that's what he wanted to lead with,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: not the dominant defense yesterday in the nine o'clock hour,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: it was more of why only coming away with thirteen points?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: That's something to be worried about.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: So certainly something that they'll try to button up before
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: the first playoff game. Headlines next Greg Bell Nex Sports
